Chapter 932: Chapter 932: Interrogation from the Brother-in-Law, Supreme Wisdom Awakens! [2nd Update]

He wasn’t particularly familiar with the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, but they did know each other.

But the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and Princess Yongning?

As far as he knew, three hundred years ago, the two hadn’t even met, let alone known each other.

So after Ah Lan died, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower couldn’t accept this outcome either, choosing instead to escort her from Fengyuan to Yan City.

This journey was a distance of tens of thousands of miles.

The Jianghu is not like the Imperial Court, incidents of murder and arson are too many.

As the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower also shoulders the responsibility of stabilizing the Jianghu.

If certain interested parties knew that he had left the Highest Heaven Tower for over a month just to secretly escort Princess Yongning’s coffin, given the constant small and large frictions between the Jianghu and the Imperial Court, if this matter became widely known, the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch would become unstable for the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

Yet he still did it.

About this, He Jia was also slightly puzzled, because from his perspective, he couldn’t understand the emotions of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

But the Master of Highest Heaven Tower has always been an unfathomable, enigmatic opponent. It’s rumored that at the age of three, he personally witnessed the brutal murder of his parents, a moment from which his personality became twisted.

Some say he is cold-blooded and ruthless, while others say he is sinister and cruel.

Certain tactics of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower were beyond He Jia’s comprehension.

Xiang Mingyu immediately realized that she had blurted out something due to excessive excitement.

She immediately fell silent, subconsciously glancing at Hua Yingyue and Xie Linyuan.

Both of them exchanged glances, remaining silent.

Even though they already knew about the matter between Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng, they indeed weren’t prepared to let He Jia know.

Moreover, this was Ye Wanlan’s own affair, and she should choose whether to reveal it.

"Little He, you heard wrong! I was talking about Qingtian!" Xiang Mingyu waved her hand, evasively saying, "Look, Yingyue and Shunhua are here, we’re just missing Qingtian."

However, He Jia wasn’t fooled, he cast a cold glance at Xiang Mingyu: "Auntie, are you a three-year-old child? I don’t think you would consider me a three-year-old either."

Xiang Mingyu: "..."

She could retort even her own brother, Ning Zhaozong, but encountering her nephew, she often found herself at a loss for words.

"Why would Xiao Lan return with the Master of Highest Heaven Tower?" He Jia’s gaze swept over everyone present, both familiar faces and mere acquaintances, he lightly asked, "Who will speak first?"

"..."

Everyone remained silent.

"Xiao Yue, you and Xiao Lan are close friends, having grown up together since childhood." He Jia’s falcon-like sharp eyes locked onto

"Brother, I... I don’t know!" Hua Yingyue jumped behind Yan Shunhua, using his body as a shield, "Brother, you know, if Ah Lan kept a secret, even I wouldn’t tell, so don’t ask me."

"Oh? A secret?" He Jia slightly raised his eyebrows, letting out a cold laugh, "It seems like it’s a secret that will put me in a bad mood once I know it."

Hua Yingyue: "..."

How had she forgotten that despite being a man of few words, He Jia had an extraordinarily keen sense for language?

Even from just a few words, he could quickly identify the crucial information.

She decided to keep quiet.

He Jia did not reproach Hua Yingyue, shifting his gaze to Lin Fanyin: "Sect Leader Lin, you say."

"Brother He, Fanyin has been so busy managing the Heavenly Sound Sect that her feet hardly touch the ground. She doesn’t know what you’re asking," Xie Linyuan stood in front of Lin Fanyin, "As for me, I know even less. I’ve only had a few words with Little Junior Sister since returning this time."

Huo Jingyu silently stepped back a bit, indicating his complete lack of knowledge.

"Very well," He Jia said coolly, "In that case, let’s wait for Xiao Lan to return and let her explain everything."

Xiang Mingyu mentally wished Ye Wanlan luck while saying, "Little He, since you’ve just returned, let Auntie tell you about the current situation."

Others chimed in, solving all the mysteries one by one.

He Jia listened quietly, slowly exhaling: "Three hundred years."

He closed his eyes, as if those descending flames were just a moment ago, as the world turned desolate, and Shenzhou lay broken.

"Ah Lan said, from what she gathered from history, the enemy from three hundred years ago would come again." Hua Yingyue said coldly, "So now the Five Great Families are urgently training their troops, waiting for the day to resist foreign enemies."

He Jia said, "It’s not enough."

Indeed it wasn’t enough.

After all, society was now modernized, unlike during the Ning Dynasty when armies could be raised, and there were far fewer personnel to resist enemies.

In the past, the Divine Strategy Army alone had eight thousand, but now, with all the branches of the Huo Family, it totals barely that number.

Yet those in the Huo Family who can practice the Divine Strategy Spear Technique are at most a few hundred, and among these, those who can reach the later levels are few and far between.

"Indeed it’s not enough," Huo Jingyu lifted his head, his expression resolute, "But, I will do my utmost."

"King of Yan, know that although our military strength is reduced, our technology has advanced," Yan Shunhua smiled, "Moreover, this time both Yongning and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower are here. Do you remember that prophecy?"

He Jia’s eyes suddenly changed.

He certainly remembered.

The prophecy said if Princess Yongning and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower were divided, they’d separately rule the Jianghu and the temple, but together, Shenzhou would be invincible and unmatched in the world.

"The boat will straighten when it reaches the bridge, anything undecided is possible," Yan Shunhua said merrily, "Now that Yongning has become emperor, any previous regrets will now reach fulfillment."

He Jia murmured, "All fulfilled?"

He didn’t know, but he was willing to give it a try.

**

Atlantis, Chongming Country.

After the High Priest’s dharma disappeared and a faint moan came from the cave, Envoy Lianhua and Envoy Miao Yin were finally able to confirm that the Supreme Wisdom and the High Priest were indeed one.

But knowing this was useless, for their lives and souls belonged to the Supreme Wisdom, and harboring any rebellious thought would lead to immediate eradication.

The Supreme Wisdom’s slumber was not just because of sending the Three Envoys forcibly to the land and being forced back by Ye Wanlan, but also because It had transferred Power to Its flesh body—the High Priest, focusing on breaking the seal in the Sea of Stars.

Now, the High Priest was dead, Its Power reclaimed, and It awakened.

"My God!" Envoy Lianhua knelt on one knee, "Word from Nirvana reports that the Nanling Sea has split open, Atlantis has appeared, and we don’t know what to do. Please instruct us, my God."

The Supreme Wisdom did not answer but instead laughed coldly: "Do you really think by destroying My avatar, you can stop My plan? Princess Yongning, you won’t know that your actions have hastened the arrival of the Last Day, again sending Shenzhou down a dead end."

This time, the Shenzhou Land Continent will cease to exist.
